Bug-Description:
ff19ae
ff19ae
When `printf -v' is used to set an array element, the format string contains
ff19ae
`%b', and the corresponding argument is the empty string, the buffer used
ff19ae
to store the value to be assigned can be NULL, which results in NUL being
ff19ae
assigned to the array element.  This causes a seg fault when it's used later.
